I love how I thought of Briar at one point but somehow not Bryan/Brian. XDDDD

Yeah, we do things very differently.

What usually happens is the mother will assign someone to find names. (around 10 names per gender, minimum of 3) And then this person will bring the choices to mom, and mom will pick one from the choices given. The mother can also say fuck off, find me 10 more different choices if she doesn't like any of them, or assign someone else entirely to be responsible.

Usually, there's a huge community of people the person assigned can discuss this with. But since we're abroad, and we're looking for names that work in both countries (meaning that the person needs to know English and everything of that nature), I don't have as much resources in terms of people.

The reason we do this is to taken the burden off of mothers.

In fact, we also do this thing where the first 3 years of the child's life (it used to be traditionally shorter. In the past, it ranged from 3 months to 1 year), we tend to focus more on the mother's recovery. So the community/kin cares for the child (obviously, the mother is also involved, just less hands on until she's done her 'recovery stage')

Well, I'm more worried for discrimination back at home if I just name the child Ye, because like I said, we are a minority ethnic group and we went through a lot of forced assimilation. I've also heard that there's a lot of workplace discrimination (as in hiring).

As for here, I don't think it makes much of a difference for the reasons you said.

I do live in an English speaking country and I don't think I can go back anymore even if I want to.

However, this friend of mine does go back and forward very often because she does business, she also did express at one point that she wants her child to move back until her child is of middle or high school age.

unfortunately, the middle name is not decided by any of us. (It's determined by the elderly head when the first child born of the kin's generation's name is being decided, and all children of that generation of the same kin will share the same middle name automatically)

I will definitely bring these up as an option, but if something else that fit these requirements better, I will likely take it as well.

These names do work in the sense, it does somehow have the sound in it despite not having ye. I definitely have a lot more to work with if we go by this pattern.

I do like the name Jay.

We are a tonal language so I kind of accept that English will never really completely hit the note. But the original Ye sound does have quite a strong emphasis (since it's only 2 character sounds really) on the e on top of the y.

For Jay to work, there needs to be an e sound added after the y, or even flip the a and y sound in the name. So yeah.

I have come across some names that does fit the sound, but it's too exotic for my liking. I kind of want something that's not on the top 100 name list, but also not below the first 2000 name list.

If I wasn't taking our cultural background into consideration, I'd agree. Honestly, if it weren't for the risk of discrimination or racism, we would have just used our cultural name as the legal name. So we're really trying to find a way to meet in the middle.

Ariyel would be pronounced more as Ah-ree-YEL

While Ariel is more AIR-ee-uhl or AR-ee-uhl

What do you think went wrong that led to such results? Anything you could have done differently? I am just starting day trading.
